M O U LT O N B O R OUGH — After weighing the misgivings expressed by residents, the Board of Selectmen last week accepted the recommendation of staff to shelve the proposed reconstruction of a stretch of Sheridan Road for at least a year.

Sheridan Road runs northward from Route 25 for a little more than two miles then forks into Range Road leading northwest to Squam Lake and School House Road heading northeast to Center Sandwich.

Both the southern and northern reaches of the road have been reconstructed, leaving some 1,650 feet, or about a third of mile, in the middle in disrepair.

The town budgeted $275,000 to widen the stretch of road to 22 feet with one-foot shoulders drainage swales to match the remainder of the road, which would require stripping the verge of mature trees and see ROAD page 9

WASHINGTON (AP) — Stung by revelations that his plan would cut spending less than advertised, House Speaker John Boehner pushed off a vote on a debt-ceiling measure that was also running into opposition from tea party conservatives.

The move came just a week before an Aug. 2 deadline for staving off the potential financial chaos of the nation’s first-ever default.

With time running out, the speaker promised to quickly rewrite his debt-ceiling legislation after budget officials said it would cut spending by less than $1 trillion over the coming decade instead of the promised $1.2 trillion.

Meanwhile, public head-butting between Democratic President Barack Obama and the Republicans showed no sign of easing. The White House declared Obama would veto the Boehner bill, even if it somehow got through the House and the Democratic-controlled Senate.

For all that, it was the see DEBT page 11

Lawyer says Norway killer sees himself as ‘some kind of savior’ OSLO, Norway (AP) — The suspect in the bombing and mass shooting that killed 76 people in Norway sees himself as “some kind of savior” and is likely insane, his attorney said Tuesday, though the lawyer said he did not know whether he would use an insanity defense.

Geir Lippestad told The Associated Press in an interview that his client, Anders Behring Breivik, is unaware of the impact of the attacks and asked him how many people he had killed. Lippestad said he did not answer the question.

In an exclusive AP interview, Breivik’s former stepmother said she had never seen any violent or anti-Muslim behavior

from him, even in recent months. Tove Oevermo told The Associated Press that Breivik often talked about a book he had quit working to write — without revealing that it was a 1,500-page anti-immigrant manifesto justifying Friday’s attacks.

Breivik, 32, has confessed to last week’s bombing at government headquarters in Oslo and a shooting rampage at an island retreat, but has pleaded not guilty to the terrorism charges he faces. Breivik, who made his first court appearance Monday, claims he acted to save Europe from what he says is Muslim colonization.

“His reason (for the attacks) is that he wants to start a war against democracy,

against the Muslims in the world, and as he said he wants to liberate Europe and the Western world,” said Lippestad.

Asked how his client sees himself, he said: “As a savior. Some kind of savior.”

Lippestad said his client, who claims he is part of an organization with several cells in Western countries, appears unaware of the effects of his crime.

“He asked me if I was shocked and if I could explain to him what happened,” Lippestad said. “He didn’t know if he had succeeded with his plan.”

But Lippestad said in an earlier news conference that his client felt the “operasee NORWAY page 9

All were among the 76 victims of Friday’s bombing in downtown Oslo and the island summer-camp shooting spree that

followed. Police officially released the first four names Tuesday, and Norwegian media published the names and photos of some of the other victims. At least some were immigrants or their descendants — the people whose presence in Norway fueled the hatred of the ethnic Norwegian accused in the attacks.

Tens of thousands of Norwegians have rejected the suspect’s rhetoric, laying

thousands of flowers around the capital in mourning. Entire streets were awash in flowers, and Oslo’s florists ran out of roses.

Police say U.S. Olympic Fight over FAA shutdown looks to be a long one freestyle skiing medalist killed himself in Utah WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawmakers dug in Tuesday for what is shaping up to be a protracted fight over legislation necessary to end a partial shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration even as the economic and social consequences of the shutdown widened.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said he was unaware of any negotiations to end the legislative stalemate between the House and Senate that permitted the FAA’s operating authority to expire at midnight on Friday.

The administration hopes to persuade House Republicans to reach a compromise by publicizing the airport projects that have been halted and workers that have been laid off in their districts due to the shutdown, he told The Association Press in an interview.

Thus far, there’s been no movement, but he remains hopeful, LaHood said.The FAA has fur-

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Olympic silver medalist Jeret “Speedy” Peterson was found dead in a remote canyon in Utah in what police are calling a suicide.

Peterson, a freestyle skier who patented the socalled “Hurricane” and took second place at the Vancouver Games with it, called 911 before shooting himself, police said. The 29-year-old had been cited for drunken driving Friday in Hailey, Idaho and had pleaded not guilty.

Officers found Peterson late Monday night between Salt Lake City and Park City in Lambs Canyon. Police said a suicide note was found near Peterson’s car; they declined to reveal what it said.

He was one of the most colorful of athletes, and he wore his heart on his sleeve — never more than on Feb. 26, 2010, when he walked off the mountain with tears streaming down his face after taking the silver medal.

CONCORD (AP) — Republican House Speaker “I know that a lot of people go through a lot of William O’Brien says a federal lawsuit by 10 hosthings in their life, and I just want them to realize pitals against cuts in Medicaid funding in the New they can overcome anything,” Peterson said that Hampshire budget is a disservice to the public. night. “There’s light at the end of the tunnel and O’Brien said the hospitals, including LRGHealthmine was silver and I love it.” care of Laconia, want the court to rule that a 20-yearIt was a poignant closing chapter to a career that, old promise forever bars the state from changing until then, had been filled with success on the smaller how it funds its share of the state-federal Medicaid stages of his fringe sport but defined in the mainstream program. by his moment at the Turin Olympics where, after finishing seventh, he was sent home early after a minor scuffle with a buddy in the street.

The agency issued dozens more stop work orders on Tuesday. At least hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of private sector workers have been affected.

“It’s frustrating,” said Mike MacDonald, regional vice president of an FAA union representing nearly 1,200 engineers, architects, technicians and other workers who have been furloughed. “Why are we being used as pawns in this political game that has nothing to do with us?”

Most of his union’s members “are like me — middle-aged with mortgages, kids in college and car loans,” said MacDonald, 54, who has also been laid off. “It’s scary.” see FAA page 15

N.H. Speaker calls hospital lawsuit a disservice to public The hospitals claim they are paid inadequately to treat the poor and that jeopardizes access to health care by Medicaid patients.

In 1991, hospitals began paying a tax so the state could gain matching Medicaid funds to pay for caring for the poor. For many years, they got all their taxes back dollar-for-dollar. The new budget cuts $115 million from the fund set up to pay the treatment costs but maintains the tax.

Peterson got his nickname because of the big helmet he wore, one that made him look like Speed Racer of cartoon fame.

But quickly, he became better known for the “Hurricane”— a triple-twisting, doubleflipping trick off the snowy ramp that was more difficult than anything anyone else would try.

A fire bell in the night for Norway “Like a fire bell in the night,” wrote Thomas Jefferson in 1820, “this momentous question ... awakened and filled me with terror. I considered it at once as the knell of the Union.”

Jefferson was writing of the sudden resurgence of the slavery issue in the debate on Missouri’s entry into the Union, as foreshadowing a civil war.

And that massacre in Oslo, where a terrorist detonated a fertilizer bomb to decapitate the government and proceeded to a youth camp to kill 68 children of Norway’s ruling elite, is a fire bell in the night for Europe. For Anders Behring Breivik is no Islamic terrorist. He was born in Norway and chose as his targets not Muslims whose presence he detests, but the Labor Party leaders who let them into the country, and their children, the future leaders of that party.

Though Breivik is being called insane, that is the wrong word.

Breivik is evil — a cold-blooded, calculating killer — though a deluded man of some intelligence, who in his 1,500-page manifesto reveals a knowledge of the history, culture and politics of Europe. He admits to his “atrocious” but “necessary” crimes, done, he says, to bring attention to his ideas and advance his cause: a Crusader’s war between the real Europe and the “cultural Marxists” and Muslims they invited in to alter the ethnic character and swamp the culture of the Old Continent. Specifically, Breivik wanted to kill three-time Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland, the “mother of the nation,” who spoke at the camp on Utoeya Island, but departed before he arrived.

Predictably, the European press is linking Breivik to parties of the populist right that have arisen to oppose multiculturalism and immigration from the Islamic world.

Breivik had belonged to the Progress Party, but quit because he found it insufficiently militant.

His writings are now being mined for references to U.S. conservative critics of multiculturalism and open borders. Purpose: demonize the American right, just as the berserker’s attack on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson was used to smear Sarah Palin and Timothy McVeigh’s Oklahoma City bombing was used to savage Rush Limbaugh and conservative critics of Big Government.

Guilt by association, which the left condemned when they claimed to be its victims in the Truman-McCarthy era, has been used by the left since it sought to tie the assassination of JFK by a Marxist from the Fair Play for Cuba Committee to the political conservatism of the city of Dallas.

But Europe’s left will encounter difficulty in equating criticism of multiculturalism with neo-Nazism.

For Angela Merkel of Germany, Nicolas Sarkozy of France and David Cameron of Britain have all

declared multiculturalism a failure. From votes in Switzerland to polls across the continent, Europeans want an end to the wearing of burqas and the building of prayer towers in mosques.

The flood of illegal aliens into the Canary Islands from Africa, into Italy from Libya and Tunisia, and into Greece from Turkey has mainstream parties echoing the right.

The Schengen Agreement itself, which guarantees open borders within the European Union to all who enter the EU, is under attack.

None of this is to deny the presence of violent actors or neo-Nazis on the European right who bear watching. But, awful as this atrocity was, native born and homegrown terrorism is not the macro-threat to the continent.

That threat comes from a burgeoning Muslim presence in a Europe that has never known mass immigration, its failure to assimilate, its growing alienation, and its sometime sympathy for Islamic militants and terrorists.

Europe faces today an authentic and historic crisis. With her nativeborn populations aging, shrinking and dying, Europe’s nations have not discovered how to maintain their prosperity without immigrants. Yet the immigrants who have come — from the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia — have been slow to learn the language and have failed to attain the educational and occupational levels of Europeans. And the welfare states of Europe are breaking under the burden.

Norway, too, needs to wake up.

From the first call for help, police needed 90 minutes to get out on the island in the Oslo lake to stop the massacre by the coward, who surrendered as soon as the men with guns arrived. Apparently, Breivik wanted to be around to deliver his declaration of European war in person. Yet, if convicted of the 76 murders, Breivik can, at most, get 21 years, the maximum sentence under Norwegian law.

Norway is a peaceful and progressive country, its leaders say. Yet Norway sent troops to Afghanistan and has participated in the bombing of Libya, where civilians have been killed and Moammar Gadhafi has himself lost a son and three grandchildren to NATO bombs.

As for a climactic conflict between a once-Christian West and an Islamic world that is growing in numbers and advancing inexorably into Europe for the third time in 14 centuries, on this one, Breivik may be right.

LETTERS Rep. Accornero has responsibility to explain his ‘treason’ remark To the editor, In his letter of July 13, Representative Harry Accornero (R-Laconia) accused President Obama of “treason” without providing evidence to back up this very serious charge. Are you serious Mr. Accornero? Do you actually have proof that President Obama has met the U.S. Constitution;s test of “treason?” Or, as I suspect, are you just engaging in more extreme, hateful, right-wing hyperbole to impress and further inflame your constituents?

I met you once and at that time you seemed to be a reasonable gentleman.

I think your constituents may expect more from an elected official. I have come to expect this sort of nonsense from Ed Chase but not from you, an elected official who was elected to improve the state’s economy, not to engage in character assassination.

Treason is a reprehensible and odious crime as it should be. Such charges should not be made lightly.

If you make such accusations about a private citizen, you might get sued for libel or slander. In fact, there was a time when gentlemen fought armed duels over such affronts to their honor.

Just ask Founding Father Alexander Hamilton!

Unfortunately, it is all too common for people to falsely accuse other Americans of “treason” simply because they disagree with there opinions. Our Founders realized this when they wrote into the Constitution a very narrow definition of what constitutes treason against the United States. They did not want people to be labeled as “traitors” simply because

they disagreed with the government or with others.

To be a traitor against the United States, one has to either “make war on the United States” or aid its official enemies. In addition, there is a heavy burden of proof on the accuser. As a result, there have been relatively few treason trials throughout our history.

Many government officials, including our worst presidents, have been unpopular or have even violated the law or Constitution and still did not meet the constitutional definition of treason.

Why do you make this charge against President Obama, Mr. Accornero? For once, I would like you to justify the outrageous comments you make.

Even the leaders of the Confederate secession (who seem to have fulfilled the test and whom many in our Legislature seem to admire) were not charged with treason. Indeed, even those who really DO betray their country (such as spies) are rarely charged with treason but instead are prosecuted for the crime of espionage.

Where is the proof that the President of the United States is a traitor, Mr. Accornero?

Mr. Accornero seems to have a habit of making such outrageous remarks in the pages of The Sun. Perhaps he has a right to do so but he also has a responsibility to the readers and to his constituents to explain those remarks. As a member of the N.H. House of Representatives, he has a duty to read and understand the Constitution of the United States.

I laugh but I think my 4-year-old granddaughter is a Democrat To the editor, It was a long weekend for this grandfather of four. I was with my granddaughters for hours but with the youngest, just turned four two weeks ago, for most of the weekend. Boy, is she a pistol! She thinks her Grampa is a jungle jim. I am jumped on, climbed on and summer saulted off of. And so here on Monday morning I have the aches and pains to prove it. Would I change it? No way, it’s a matter of love.

I gladly endure anything she puts

thing. A visit to the toy department in any store. We go down the isles and she points to one item after another non-stop. “I want that, I want that, I want that”, she repeats over and over pointing to each toy. I joke with her, “Do you have money”? She looks me straight in the eye smiling at the joke and says,”No Grampa, you do”.

I laugh but still this scares the heck out of me. I think she’s a Democrat!

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, July 27, 2011 — Page 5

LETTERS It’s totally false notion that Democrats are compassionate ones

The amount of food we Americans throw away is a disgrace

To the editor, Aborting a fetus at any point in a pregnancy is just fine with most Democrats and a primary focus of the Planned Parenthood gang. Yes, I am primarily a pro-lifer though I can’t in good conscience reconcile forcing a raped 14-year-old girl to carry the lowlife’s baby to term and have to deal with the psychological trauma of giving it up after it is born. However, most Democrats are pro-choice every day, all the way when it comes to abortion. So why in most other areas of life including most that are much less life altering, are Democrats so anti-prochoice.

They are deciding for us how we should illuminate our homes and Tom Edison’s light bulbs are just not good for us, so we must criminalize their use for the good of all. Candles, kerosene lanterns and expensive, dimly lit, toxic mercury-filled compact fluorescents are okay, but incandescents are taboo. Yet Energy Secretary Stephen Chu said, “These standards are not taking choices away”. Sounds like Orwellian double-speak wrapped in a flat out lie.

Mr. Obama’s Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee has decided that Avastin, the late stage breast cancer drugs’ side effects are not worth the average five month life extention even though it lengthens the lives of the “super responders” by up to three years. Perhaps these compassionate Democrats have forgotten that the primary side effect of metastatic breast cancer is death, affecting approximately 40,000 women annually. While we’re speaking of health, let’s not forget that Democrats deny women (and men) the right to choose whether or not to buy health insurance under Obamacare. You know, the program that the majority of Americans are against with increasing numbers the more they learn about it.

How many of you are aware of the compassionate Democrats/environmentalists banning of DDT because of the deaths of a bunch of birds. The birds were rescued at the expense of millions upon millions of deaths in third world countries and principally Africa.

It was and still is the most effective way to kill off malaria infected mosquitoes.

Wealthy countries like the USA can afford other methods of extermination while countries such as Africa cannot.

This is an unconscionably, uncompassionate, mass killing of human life and most people are not even aware of it.

To the editor, I was reading about the famine going on currently in Africa. It’s so sad.

The amount of food we throw away each day in America could feed these people for the next 100 years! Restaurants and stores aren’t allowed to sell food after a certain date because of health laws but we have people starving overseas who would LOVE to eat day old food! I have food in my fridge that’s past the date that I have eaten and I’m still here.

It’s the politically correct people who make these stupid laws. They should let us donate our expired food

The unintended consequences of the compassion of Democrats can be devastating.

Democrats (and of course unions) fought against allowing women as mothers the right to choose to send their children to an alternative school that accepts educational vouchers.

This particularly affected poor black mothers whose children benefited the most from this pro-choice. Thankfully, John Boehner successfully reauthorized these vouchers during last April’s bipartisan budget agreement.

A woman who had been braiding hair as her business for over four years was shut down because liberal bureaucrats mandated that she must pay to go to school and incur one thousand hours of practice braiding before she can receive a permit to do what she had been doing very successfully for many years. A woman’s choice to have church bake sales are being shut down because their kitchens aren’t up to code — you know, like your favorite neighborhood restaurant kitchen.

In both these cases, productivity ceased and a woman lost her source of income indefinitely since she could not afford the cost of schooling and a permit. Believe it or not, mothers are no longer given the choice of allowing their children a basic lesson in free enterprise in more and more states.

Well that is, unless they want to pay for a $150 permit so that their children can make 10 or 20 bucks selling lemonade.

In the bizarro world of liberal Democrats, pro-choice only seems to apply to killing, of the unborn, womens’ health, the poor and free enterprise.

To quote Deroy Murdock, “If a woman chooses to kill the young American in her womb, nearly every Democrat in Washington will fight for her like Marines on Normandy Beach. But if a woman desires almost any other choice, Democrats impersonate the Great Wall of China”. Yet the totally false notion that the Democrats are the compassionate ones and the Republicans are cold-hearted continues to permeate the consciousness of the liberal media and the general population. We had better hope that conservatives and Republicans become as effective at public relation selling as the Democrats and modern day liberals before their socialist utopian ideals grind this great nation to a liberty life sucking halt.

Thanks to all who helped mitigate Sunday fire at NH Ball Bearing To the editor, On Sunday, July 24, a fire broke out at the NHBB Astro manufacturing facility located on Lexington Avenue in Laconia. A Good Samaritan spotted flames exiting through a chimney system on the roof and called 911. The LFD and LPD immediately responded and crisis was averted. Fortunately, there were no injuries and property

damage was minimal.

NHBB extends our most sincere appreciation and gratitude to the alert 911 caller, the Laconia Fire and Police Departments, and our faithful employees who reported on-site following the fire to secure and ready the facility for third shift operations.

to these people in Africa and even homeless people in our country! We waste so much food here it’s pathetic.

I don’t buy what I can’t eat. When I go out to eat, I see people leaving what they couldn’t finish instead of taking it home. I could never work in a restaurant. I couldn’t stand to see the food they throw out.

If a bum gets caught raiding the dumpster, he gets arrested for stealing. Disgraceful. We need to change the way we do things with food in this country.

LETTERS Neither Obama or Boehner is talking about cutting government To the editor, Both President Obama and Speaker Boehner failed to deliver acceptable proposals for raising the debt ceiling and both failed to explain the real situation to the American people.

President Obama hasn’t provided specifics for a plan, he makes no real attempt at compromise, his desired taxes on “the rich” provide a minuscule income, he continues to lie about the Bush tax cuts — which actually increased tax revenues and shifted more of the tax burden to the rich — and he continues to threaten seniors and financial catastrophe. (We hear similar threats every time our leaders try to pressure our representatives into doing bad things.)

The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office spokesman said, “We can’t score a speech“, meaning the president has provided no detailed proposal. President Obama wants to eliminate the tax breaks (he signed into law in the 2009 stimulus bill) for corporate jets to generate $300-million in revenue — not much compared to the $1.65-trillion deficit.

The taxes on the rich he wants will raise about $70-billion, less than 5-percent of Obama’s $1.65-trillion deficit. President Obama has no plan for any meaningful cut in the deficit. The administration offered $2-billion in spending cuts but not enough tax increases to significantly lower the deficit.

The president talks about a “balanced approach”. He demands tax increases from “the rich”, but where is the balance? He offers future cuts in greatly inflated future spending estimates. What about some real balance? How about cutting some of the 200,000 new Federal employees that Obama hired while the private sector was struggling and suffering? How about cutting the compensation of federal employees who, on average, earn twice that of private sector employees? Under President Obama the number of federal employees earning over $100,000 has more than doubled, how about cutting those salaries back to 2008 levels? What is the sacrifice of the taxpayers who don’t have an income of $250,000 or more? Where is the sacrifice of government itself which continues to grow year after year without any meaningful review of the efficiency, effectiveness, redundancy, return on investment, and/or undesirable unintended affects of government programs?

How does President Obama have the gall to talk about “living within our means” when he proposes $1-trillion deficits for the foreseeable future?

Federal revenue in August is estimated to be over $170-billion. Interest on the debt is $29-billion, Social Security is about $50 billion, and Medicare/ Medicaid is about $50-billion. There is not enough income to pay all typical expenses, but if the top priority items such as the debt service, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and military salaries are not paid, it will be because President Obama choose to spend the money on something else and cause the financial default or hardships for seniors or soldier’s families.

I am more sympathetic with Speaker Boehner because the House of Representatives has already

passed two proposals for dealing with the debt ceiling, the so-called “Ryan budget” and the “Cut, Cap, and Balance” plan. Both these plans provide starting points for compromise, but the Democrat-controlled Senate rejected both out of hand, they didn‘t even offer amendments making the proposals acceptable. The Senate, like President Obama, has not made a proposal that the CBO can score, they only criticize Republican proposals and demand that Republicans give in to their demands of continued reckless deficit spending.

Neither President Obama nor Speaker Boehner tell the full story.

Both are talking about cuts in the growth of spending. But no one is talking about cutting the size of government and that is what is needed.

Why do we continue programs or departments like Energy and Education that fail to achieve their objectives? Why do we subsidize ethanol, food, petroleum, Post Office, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Amtrak, and so many other things that should survive or die on their own? Why do we bailout anyone? Why do we tolerate welfare going to illegal aliens? Or, to generations of families? Or, to ablebodied but lazy people? Or a welfare system that discourages fathers from staying with their families, or which encourages young single women to have and keep babies which so often locks Mother and children into lives of poverty? Why do we have 44 redundant job retraining programs?

Why do we tolerate federal funding for so many ridiculous “studies” like the recent one on how male genitalia size affects gay men’s “health”? (Yes, a single study is a drop in the bucket but there are thousands, probably tens of thousands of these stupid, worthless programs and the costs add up!) Before collecting a single penny from any taxpayer, it seems to me that serious cutting is necessary … and that is what the president and Congress should do before doing anything about the debt ceiling or asking for a single extra penny in taxes.

Neither President Obama nor Speaker Boehner tell the full debt story. They try to scare us by saying that if the debt ceiling is not raised, our credit rating might be lowered.

But President Obama’s plans to increase our debt by at least $1-trillion annually for the foreseeable future is a bigger and definite threat to our credit rating. Our already significant interest payments won’t be affordable. China and credit rating companies warn us that we are creating too much debt. It is just a matter of time before our huge, growing debt to cause our credit rating to fall.

Then the U.S. will need a bailout.

Unfortunately, there is not enough money in the world to bail us out and the austerity programs in Greece will look like DisneyWorld compared to what our creditors will force on us.

Most Americans know that our Federal Government is way too big, that it spends and wastes too much money, and that there are many failing and counter-productive programs that need to be eliminated. Most see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, July 27, 2011 — Page 7

Redrawing ward boundaries looks like it will take longer than anticipated

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — City Manager Scott Myers told the City Council on Monday that a ward redistricting effort is unlikely to be completed in time for the result to be placed on the ballot for the city election to be held November 8.

The first city election held with Laconia divided by new boundaries would be in 2013.

Every 10 years, following the completion of the census, all the electoral districts in the county, from the congressional districts to municipal wards, must be redrawn to comply with the from preceding page Americans feel it is immoral to pass the debts from this inappropriate and unnecessary spending onto future generations.

The “Cut, Cap, and Balance” proposal provides a useful structure for getting our country onto a financially sensible path, but it does not cut enough spending in the first year. Starting immediately, real spending needs to be cut by at least 10 percent annually until a balanced budget is achieved and we start repaying the debt.

Solving our spending problem will be very difficult, it won‘t be accomplished by business as usual. Politicians who are looking for political advantage or personal gain are not likely to be willing to take the steps that are needed. Fixing the problems is likely to reveal many government failures and lies. It appears our current leaders are not up to the challenge, but, nevertheless, our spending problem needs to be fixed.

If you care about the economic future of yourself, your children, and future generations; if you care about freedom, maintaining our tolerant and generous society; if you care about the opportunities our country provides; if you care about the freedom and well

principle of “one man, one vote.”

Redistricting requires an amendment to the City Charter, which describes the boundaries of each of the wards much like a deed describes the metes and bounds of real property. Originally Meyers intended to place the amendment on the ballot of the next regular municipal election , which will be held on November 8. To meet this deadline, the process must begin no later than August 8 with a vote of the council approving the proposed amendment and ordering a public hearing.

Myers said that manipulating the census data and applying to the being of humans on earth; then we, the people, need to make our political leaders stop spending, cut wasteful government, and put our country on a path to financial health.

Demand that spending be cut by 10-percent annually until a balanced budget is achieved. Demand that wasteful, redundant, low priority, and failing programs be eliminated. Since politicians won’t make difficult financial decisions on their own, demand passage of a balanced budget amendment which limits federal spending to the traditional 18-percent of GDP. Demand that our representatives fix our financial problems. Tell them we will accept a little pain now if necessary to avoid the harsh pain that will come later and perhaps fall on our children and grandchildren. Tell them you will stand with them if they solve these spending problems, but not if they kick them down the road letting them become more severe.

Demand that there be no increase in the debt ceiling without real, significant spending cuts and putting our country onto an honest path to a balanced budget.

mapping of the city has proven more complex and time-consuming than initially anticipated. He said that he has approached state officials about the prospect of placing the charter amendment describing the new ward boundaries on a special ballot when the New Hampshire Presidential Primary is held early in 2012. The alternative, he said, would be to hold a special election, which would cost in the neighborhood of $5,000.

When the city last redistricted following the 2000 census, city councilors elected to place the charter amendment on the ballot at the next state election in 2002, providing themselves with nearly a year to redraw the ward boundaries. As it happened, the charter amendment delineating the new ward lines was adopted in November, 2002 and a year later the first municipal elections were held and the first city council was elected in the redrawn wards.

However, Myers said yesterday that he sought to expedite the process this time around in order to accommodate the Legislature, which will begin redrawing the two congressional dis-

Laconia to host pay-as-you-throw information session on September 14

LACONIA — The City Council this week scheduled a public meeting on a proposal to introduce “Pay-As-YouThrow” (PAYT) to be held on Wednesday, September 14 beginning at 6:30 p.m. at a venue to be announced.

PAYT is intended to increase recycling by requiring residents to place the trash and garbage they do not recycle in a special-marked plastic bag purchased at local retail outlets.

The trash, together with recyclable materials, is collected at the curbside once a week. Trash not contained in a marked bag is left at the curb.

PAYT treats trash disposal like a public utility by ensuring that households and businesses pay only for what they generate, without subsidizing those who chose not to recycle through the collection of broad-based property taxes. Moreover, non-profit organizations exempt from property tax would also pay their fair share with PAYT. City Manager Scott Myers said that the meeting is intended to inform residents about the operation of a PAYT program as well as to answer questions and solicit comments about the proposal.

tricts, along with the 400 districts of the New Hampshire House of Representatives and the 24 districts of the New Hampshire Senate when it convenes in the autumn. He explained that redrawing the 400 House districts would be facilitated by having the municipal ward boundaries in place.

Deputy Secretary of State David Scanlan noted that in 2006 the New Hampshire Constitution was amended to provide that if a town or ward has sufficient population to warrant one or more members of the House of Representatives, it will constitute a district with one or more seats. Although Laconia is divided into six wards and a corresponding number of polling station, its five state representatives are currently elected at-large.

In the simplest terms, redistricting amounts to dividing the total population of the city by six then adjusting the boundaries of the six wards so that the population of each is within a specified percentage, or “deviation,” from the average. The “deviation” will be limited to between one-percent and five -percent.

Laconia Police Chief Chris Adams (right) listens as Lieutenant Matt Canfield speaks to an overflow crowd at the Laconia Public Library on Tuesday evening. In the far right corner is Captain Bill Clary, head of the department’s detective bureau. The top brass gave attendees a briefing on the recent burglaries the city has been experiencing. (Alan MacRae/for the Laconia Daily Sun)

BURGLARIES from page one crime lab in Concord is working with Laconia to expedite matches, but, unlike television, fingerprint matches can take as many as eight months to complete because of backlogs at the state level.

“There is only one lab in the state,” he said.

Many of those who attended wanted to know if the police would assist them in setting up neighborhood watches to help the the police catch the person or people doing this.

“Keep a neighborly watch and keep an eye on your neighbors,” Adams said.

In a prepared presentation, Lt. Matthew Canfield explained how people can protect themselves by installing outdoor lighting, removing gardening tools and other things a would-be burglar could use to break into a home, and installing additional locks on windows and doors.

He also said dogs are great deterrents, mostly because of the noise they make.

Police also said that air conditioners, if installed properly, can’t be removed easily from the outside and recommended using the metal security bars and window blocks that keep them in place.

Canfield said people should eliminate dark areas around the home by trimming back shrubbery where potential burglars can hide.

Many wanted to know what was acceptable if they woke to find someone in the house.

Adams said the best thing is to call 9-1-1 from a land line and leave the phone off the hook. He said police will automatically respond and a land line is more easily back traced than is a cell phone.

As to the use of weapons, Adams said people would have to have their own comfort level with any devise.

“You have the right to protect your home and your family,” he said to one man who wanted to know if it would be acceptable to let his two German shepherds out of the house to chase someone he thought was entering his house.

Adams also said he couldn’t guarantee that a person who acts wouldn’t end up on the receiving end of a civil lawsuit.

When one woman asked about pepper spray, Capt.

Steven Clarke said people need to take into consideration that pepper spray used in a confined area can be just as debilitating to the one using it and the one it is used against.

As for guns, while gun ownership is legal in New Hampshire, Canfield said if someone were to hold a burglar at gunpoint and call police, it would sure be nice for the police to know that before they responded. see next page

ROAD from page one stone walls. Bonnie Muscavitz, whose family owns property either side of the road — a 200-year-old cape on one side and an auto body shop on the other — was among those to voice misgivings. She said the project would represent the “total destruction” of a country lane as well as bring the edge of the pavement to within 18 inches of her bedroom and bathroom windows.

Town administrator Carter Ternzini recommended deferring the work and applying $220,000 of the budgeted funds to other projects, including

repaving 7,950 feet of Sheridan Road northward from Route 25. Meanwhile, the selectmen agreed to allot $10,000 to KV Partners, the town engineer, to develop a design to rebuild the disputed section of roadway, which is expected to trim ten-percent off the cost of the original design.

While the selectmen reaffirmed their intention to rebuild the road, they assured residents that further neighborhood meetings would be held before a design was approved and work begun.

NORWAY from page 2 tion” was going ahead as planned and had assumed he would be taken down by police sooner than he was. About 90 minutes into his rampage, a SWAT team reached him and he surrendered.

Lippestad said Breivik took drugs to “to be strong, to be efficient, to keep him awake” during the attack at the camp.

Two psychiatric experts will evaluate Breivik to determine whether he is mentally ill, said Lippestad, adding that it’s too early to say whether that will be his defense.

“This whole case has indicated that he’s insane,” he told reporters.

Oevermo, who kept in occasional touch with Breivik despite divorcing his father when Breivik was a teenager, said he was “just an ordinary Norwegian, a well-behaved boy.”

“You can’t put all of this together really. I saw no sign of him being a person like he must have been,” Oevermo said. “It’s really such a shock.”

Oevermo, a retired career diplomat, married Jens Breivik when Anders was 4. Anders Breivik lived with his mother but would often visit Oevermo and his father in France.

Oevermo said she last saw Breivik in March or April of this year, when he visited her at her home south of Oslo. She said he didn’t seem agitated during the visit and behaved normally.

He left saying, “’See you again soon,’ or something like that, something very normal,” she said.

Breivik would often speak of a book he was writing, Oevermo said. He was proud of the book, but was evasive about its contents, she said.

“He just told me he was trying to publish a book. He didn’t say what about.

He said, ‘You’ll see when it’s finished,’” she said. “He didn’t really want to get into it, but he was proud of it.”

In recent years, he was working on the book full-time and not working. Before that Oevermo said he worked odd jobs and tried to establish various companies.

Breivik released his manifesto shortly before the deadly attacks. In the sprawling document, he details his hatred for the “cultural Marxists” who have allowed Muslims to immigrate to Europe. He claims his attack is part of a coordinated effort by a group calling itself the Knights Templar to rid Europe of Muslims and left-wing politics. Police officials say they’re not sure whether such a group exists.

Oevermo said Breivik spoke to her about politics “like every normal person does, not more than that. He never touched Islam and this hatred he must have had for it.”

She said the Breivik she knew was “quite informed and well spoken.”

“People say, ‘I’m shocked.’ They don’t know what shock is all about, physically and psychologically. It was so unreal. I couldn’t believe it. I refused to believe it,” she said. “If I’d had some kind of suspicion — some kind of idea that something was not right with him, it would have been easier, I think.”

from preceding page “If we respond and see you with a gun...” he said, his words trailing off to the obvious.

Captain Bill Clary said that noise and light work outside and will also work well inside. He said the best recourse is to lock oneself in a safe place and call the police.

Primarily, said Clary, these are “crimes of opportunity” and if people don’t give criminals the opportunity there is a good chance they won’t be a target.

Yet others wanted to know when they should call the police and what kinds of things they sould be reporting.

Adams replied that as a general rule, call police immediately if “you feel something is not right.”

He told one woman who saw someone walking near her house at 5 a.m. dressed in dark clothing that she would not be considered bothersome if she had called the police.

“Don’t be afraid to call us,” Adams said adding police would rather respond to a call that ends up being nothing than not get a call and later learn someone nearby was the target of a burglary.

detailed information regarding the evidence they have collected — and they have evidence and suspects — they said the majority of the burglaries have netted relatively small amounts of cash, in most cases under $50.

Clary also told people that burglary at night is a felony even if nothing is stolen.

“Well how do these things usually end?” asked one resident.

Clary said the last time the city had a similar string of burglaries (in that case unoccupied homes), police were able to gather enough good evidence to prosecute four of burglaries, the people responsible were sent to prison, and the burglaries stopped.

“Don’t forget, these people are criminals,” he said. “Sometimes they’ll get arrested for something else and the burglaries just stop.”

If a person wants to leave an anomyous tip they can call the Greater Laconia Crime at 524-1717 or the Laconia Police at 524-5252. In an emergency call 9-1-1.

Clary also said that anyone with information that leads to an arrest and conviction can get up to $1,000

brought Norwegian residents of all backgrounds closer together.

“Everyone realizes that terrorism and this kind of activity doesn’t have anything to do with any religion,” he told the AP. “They are individuals who can be found in any community who don’t represent the majority at all.”

Many of those killed were involved in the ruling Labor Party, which suspect Anders Behring Breivik rails against in his manifesto for allowing Muslims to immigrate to Norway.

One of the 68 victims on the island of Utoya was Gunnar Linaker, a regional secretary of the party’s youth wing, which organized the camp there.

His father, Roald, called the 23-yearold from the northern village of Bardu “a calm, big teddy bear with lots of humor and lots of love.”

A lover of the outdoors and a devoted Labor Party member, Gunnar Linaker had been to the annual Utoya camp several times and had taken leave from his political-science studies at the university in the northern city of Tromsoe to work full time in politics, his father said.

His voice weak and trembling, Roald Linaker said he was on the phone with his son when the shooting started: “He said to me: ‘Dad, dad, someone is shooting,’ and then he hung up.”

That was the last he heard from his son. Gunnar Linaker was wounded and was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died on Saturday. His 17-year-old sister also was at the camp but survived, Roald Linaker said. He declined to speak any further.

Police identified Gunnar Linaker and three victims of the bombing: Tove Aashill Knutsen, 56, Hanna M. Orvik Endresen, 61, and Kai Hauge, 33.

Police, whose response to the attacks has been criticized, say they’re being cautious in releasing the names and are making sure families are notified and approve.

Knutsen, a secretary with the elec-

tricians and information technology workers’ union, had left the office and was on her way to a subway station when the bomb exploded in Oslo’s government office quarter, union head Hans Felix said.

Normally Knutsen would go to and from work on her bicycle, but earlier that day she had left it at a repair shop.

“It wasn’t finished, so this day she had to take the subway home. Tove never got home,” Felix said. “Tove was a happy girl who was well liked by us all, and it feels unreal that she is no longer with us.”

Hauge owned a downtown Oslo bar and restaurant that was dark Tuesday. A flower arrangement outside the bar included notes from friends and a photo of him. A note beside the locked front door, handwritten in black marker, read: “Closed due to death.”

The national newspaper Dagbladet posted the names and photos of 30 people it said were killed in the attacks or missing. The information, apparently received from friends or relatives, showed three victims who did not appear to be ethnic Norwegians, including Ismail Haji Ahmed, who the newspaper said had recently appeared on the “Norway’s Talents” television show. Another, reported as missing, was a 20-year-old native of Iraq, Jamil Rafal Yasin.

Breivik has confessed to the attacks, according to police and his lawyer, but he has pleaded not guilty. His lawyer said Breivik sees himself as a warrior and savior of the Western world, and is likely insane.

Norwegian news agency NTB said police detonated explosives at Breivik’s farm about 100 miles (160 kilometers) north of Oslo on Tuesday.

Breivik said in his manifesto that he rented the farm and created a fake business there as cover for ordering six metric tons of fertilizer — an integral component of the Oslo bomb.

Man bashes head against courthouse wall after being ordered back to jail for probation violation

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A man bashed his own head against a holding cell wall Friday afternoon at the Belknap County Courthouse after learning he was returning to jail for a probation violation.

According to Belknap County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen, Justin Thurber, 29, will return to the Belknap County House of Corrections for six months of a nine-month sentence.

In April of 2008, he was sentenced to serve two to four years in New Hampshire State Prison for possession of methadone in Tilton of 2007. The sentence was suspended upon good behavior and could be brought forward for 10 years.

In 2008, Thurber pleaded guilty to breaking into a Sanbornton home in the fall of 2007 and helping to steal property valued greater than $1,000. He was sentenced to 12 months in the Belknap County House of Corrections and credited with 12 days of pre-trial confinement.

At the same time, he also pleaded guilty to being an accomplice to burglary for driving three others to a residence on Calef Hill Road.

At the time Judge Robert Morrill recommended Thurber be eligible for work release and participate meaningfully in a drug and alcohol treatment program.

Most recently, Thurber was one of two men who were nearly swept away when a dam operator opened a sluice gate at the Avery Dam near City Hall while he and another man were fishing from the ledge.

Both managed to scramble to safety and were warned not to fish down there again.

According to Guldbrandsen, Thurber’s selfinflicted injuries after Friday’s sentencing were limited to a gash over one of his eyebrows. She said he was taken by ambulance to Lakes Region General Hospital for treatment and later brought to the Belknap County facility.

A correctional guard confirmed last night that Thurber was incarcerated there.

City Council turns back church’s bid to sell raffle tickets to tourists on Weirs Beach boardwalk

LACONIA — Reverend Robert Farah of the Center Harbor Christian Church left the the City Council empty handed Monday night when his request to sell raffle tickets to benefit the Center Harbor Food Pantry on the boardwalk at Weirs Beach was summarily and unanimously denied.

“We need money very badly,” Farah told the councilors, explaining that a fifth of those served by the food pantry are residents of Laconia. He said that volunteers were selling tickets at retail outlets around the Lakes Region, “but we’re seeing all the same faces.” By selling tickets at the Weirs, he said, “we’ll get most of the out-of-state money.”

Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5), referring to Farah’s letter accompanying his request, noted that he was raising money for a refrigerator, freezer, truck, computer and copier as well as operating expenses.

“I don’t see a lot here about food,” Hamel remarked.

Farah replied that the foodstuffs are donated to the pantry.

Hamel said that the city has never permitted vending on the boardwalk, which is owned by the city, except during Motorcycle Week, adding “it should stay that way.”

Farah is the father of Scott Farah, the principal of Financial Resources Mortgage, Inc. (FRM) who is serving time in federal prison for his role in the Ponzi scheme that bilked some 150 people of more than $23-million. No criminal charges were ever filed against Robert Farah but the trustees overseeing the bankruptcy of FRM are seeking to recover some $382,000 that his son transferred from from FRM to the Center Harbor Christian Church.

DEBT from page 2 tea party-backed members of Boehner’s own party who continued to vex him and heavily influence the debt and deficit negotiating terms — not to mention his chances of holding on to the speakership.

Their adamant opposition to any tax increases forced Boehner to back away from a “grand bargain” with Obama that might have made dramatic cuts in government spending. Yet when Boehner turned this week to a more modest cost-cutting plan, with no tax increases, many conservatives balked again.

They said the proposal lacked the more potent tools they seek, such as a constitutional mandate for balanced budgets.

Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, chairman of a large group of conservative Republicans, sent a tremor through the Capitol Tuesday when he said he doubted Boehner had enough support to pass his plan. The Boehner bill would provide an immediate debt ceiling increase but would require further action before the 2012 elections.

Obama strongly opposes that last requirement, arguing that it would reopen the delicate and crucial debt discussions to unending political pressure during next year’s campaigns.

The president supports a separate bill, pushed

by Majority Leader Harry Reid in the Democraticcontrolled Senate, that would raise the debt ceiling enough to tide the government over through next year — and the elections.

Boehner wasn’t helped by an official congressional analysis late Tuesday that said his plan would produce smaller savings than originally promised.

Of particular embarrassment was a Congressional Budget office finding that Boehner’s measure would cut the deficit by just $1 billion next year.

Boehner’s office said it would rewrite the legis-

lation to make sure the spending cuts exceed the amount the debt limit would be raised. Adding a political touch, it accused the Democrats of declining to put forward specifics subject to the same sort of review.

Earlier, responding to the conservative Republican opposition, Boehner quickly went on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show, then he began one-on-one see next page

Mountain lion killed on Connecticut highway began its trip east in Black Hills of South Dakota HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A mountain lion killed on a Connecticut highway last month had apparently walked halfway across the country from South Dakota, according to Connecticut environmental officials who said Tuesday that the journey of roughly 2,000 miles was one of the longest ever recorded for a land mammal.

The animal originated in the Black Hills region of South Dakota and was tracked by DNA from its hair and droppings as it passed through Minnesota and Wisconsin in 2009 and 2010, Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Commissioner Daniel Esty said at a news conference.

Biologists estimate the size of the mountain lion population at about 100,000 in North America, mostly living in western regions and seldom traveling more than 100 miles. It was the first confirmed wild mountain lion in Connecticut in more than 100 years.

“It is a testament to the adaptability of the species that it can travel so far from its original home in South Dakota to Connecticut,” Esty said.

The lean, 140-pound male was killed June 11 when it was hit by a sport utility vehicle at night on the Wilbur Cross Parkway in the New Haven suburb of Milford.

Authorities initially believed it was a captive animal that escaped, but tests showed that it was not neutered or declawed and it had no implanted microchips,

which are commonly used in domestic animals.

Tests also determined it was likely the same one that had been seen earlier in Greenwich, Conn., a New York City suburb 30 miles away. The death was followed by a flurry of big cat sightings in the suburbs of Connecticut, but experts dismissed most of them as unreliable. Government experts say no native mountain lions are believed to live in Connecticut.

Although it was an anomaly, Esty said the presence of the wild mountain lion is a good sign of the ability of Connecticut’s conserved land to sustain wildlife.

He said the discovery is “a strong symbol of what we had all hoped for who work in the conservation area, that wilderness areas and biological diversity can be preserved and protected.”

Genetic testing showed the cat had the same genetic structure of the mountain lion population in South Dakota’s Black Hills region. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service Wildlife Genetics Laboratory in Missoula, Mont., matched the DNA with samples collected from a cat that was spotted in eastern Minnesota near Minneapolis and in northern Wisconsin from late 2009 through early 2010.

It was unclear what route the animal took to Connecticut. Biologists said it could have traveled south near urban areas or north through Canada.

from preceding page chats with wavering Republicans on the House floor during midday roll call votes.

“He has to convince a few people,” Rep. Tom Petri, R-Wis., observed dryly from a doorway.

A serious, almost dire urgency ran through Boehner’s efforts. The clock was ticking down to next Tuesday’s deadline to continue the government’s borrowing powers and avert possible defaults on U.S. loans.

Congressional veterans say a final-hour bargain can’t be reached until both parties irrefutably prove to themselves and the public that neither the Democrats’ top goals nor the Republicans’ can be reached in the divided Congress.

Moreover, Boehner’s grasp on the speakership could be weakened if he fails to pass the debt-ceiling plan that bears his name. Assuming no more than five Democrats support the measure — the same number that backed a GOP balanced-budget bill last week — Boehner can afford to lose no more than 28 of the House’s 240 Republicans.

His allies predicted he’ll make it, and Boehner got a vocal endorsement from his sometimes rival, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va. But holdouts were not limited to the much-discussed freshman class, elected in the tea party-fueled 2010 elections.

“He can’t get my vote because I felt like that, for long-term solutions to this problem, all these promises we make in cutting spending never seem to occur,” said Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga. “ I’ve been here nine years and I’ve never seen it happen yet.”

Six-term Rep. Jeff Flake of Arizona, a long-time critic of deficit spending, said he also was leaning against Boehner’s bill even though he knows a tougher measure cannot be enacted. “Obviously you have to weigh that against passing something that just doesn’t solve the problem,” Flake said.

Major business groups weighed in. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce urged support of Boehner’s bill, while the conservative Club for Growth denounced it as too weak.

While Boehner searched for votes, some Americans seemed to edge closer to notion that the Aug. 2 deadline might pass without a solution. The stock market fell again, although not dramatically. California planned to borrow about $5 billion from private investors as a hedge against a possible federal government default.

The White House spoke with veterans groups about what might happen to vets’ benefits if a deal isn’t reached. Obama has said he can’t guarantee Social Security checks and payments to veterans and the disabled would go out on schedule.

Again, Red Sox bats benefit from lack of sleep; Ortiz has 4 hits in 13-9 thumping of Kansas City BOSTON (AP) — David Ortiz had four hits and five RBIs, and Dustin Pedroia had four of Boston’s 16 hits Tuesday night to lead the Red Sox to a 13-9 victory over the Kansas City Royals, their 18th win in 22 games.

Hours after the teams took a 1-1 pitcher’s duel into the 14th inning and finished up at 1:59 a.m., they combined for 31 hits and 22 runs against nine pitchers — including Royals outfielder Mitch Maier, who threw a scoreless inning.

Alfredo Aceves (6-1) threw 3 1-3 scoreless innings in relief to improve to 20-2 in his career. Nathan Adcock (1-1) got just one out for the Royals, allowing three earned runs, three hits and three walks as Boston scored six times in the fifth inning to turn a back-and-forth game into a blowout.

Batting cleanup for the third time this season — Kevin Youkilis sat out with a hamstring injury — Pedroia had a triple, double and single in his first three at-bats but singled his next time up, in the fifth inning, walked in the sixth and hit a high fly ball to the base of the Green Monster in the eighth.

Ortiz had three doubles, and Jason Varitek homered for Boston.

Alex Gordon and Billy Butler homered for the Royals, and Butler and Mike Aviles both had three hits. Kansas City scored twice in the ninth before Franklin Morales struck out Alcides Escobar to end it.

The Royals, who used six pitchers in Monday night’s extra-inning game, used five more on Tuesday, turning to Maier in the eighth. It was the 10th time in franchise history that a position player has pitched for Kansas City.

It was 2-2 after one inning, 4-2 Royals after two, 5-4 Boston after three and 7-6 Kansas City after four. But the Red Sox broke it open with six runs in the fifth inning, when they sent 11 batters to the plate.

Josh Reddick and Jacoby Ellsbury singled before recent callup Drew Sutton bunted them along and reached safely when Aviles, the second baseman who was covering first, couldn’t handle the throw from Adcock. Two runs scored, and Sutton made it around to third on the error.

After Marco Scutaro walked, Blake Wood replaced Adcock and gave up consecutive singles to Adrian Gonzalez, Pedroia, Ortiz and Carl Crawford. Varitek struck out before Reddick, batting for the second time, hit a sacrifice fly to make it 12-7.

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (AP) — Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has refused to eat for four days, has lost weight and is weak, his chief doctor said Tuesday, increasing speculation that the ousted leader won’t stand trial next week as scheduled.

Any delay in Mubarak’s trial would likely further enflame tensions between the military council ruling Egypt since Mubarak’s fall and protesters frustrated with the pace of change. Many Egyptians already accuse the army of dragging its feet in prosecuting former regime figures and officials accused of killing protesters during the 18-day uprising that toppled Mubarak on Feb. 11.

Clashes erupted last week in Cairo after thousands of protesters tried to march on the military’s headquarters and were met by men with knives, stick and clubs. Hundreds were injured before security forces dispersed the crowds with clouds of tear gas.

On Tuesday, Assam Azzam, the head of Mubarak’s medical team, said the former leader was weak and

had lost weight after refusing to eat for four days.

Doctors at the hospital in the Red Sea resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh where Mubarak has been under house arrest since April said the former president consumes liquids, but only when pressured by the medical team or his wife.

“Mubarak gives in to pressure from the doctors more than he does to pressure from Suzanne Mubarak,” Azzam said.

The doctors could feed him intravenously if his condition deteriorates, Azzam said. He added that the biggest threat to Mubarak’s health is severe depression.

“We worry that his bad psychological state will affect his physical state,” Azzam said.

Mubarak, who ruled Egypt unchallenged for 29 years, is set to stand trial on Aug. 3 for charges of corruption and ordering the killing of protesters during the uprising, during which nearly 850 people were killed.

INSECTS from page one estry industries they support, healthy.

Andy Fast, forest resources educator for the University of New Hampshire’s Cooperative Extension of Belknap County, doesn’t like to sound like an alarmist when discussing the dangers. However, with historic lessons such as Dutch elm disease or American chestnut blight, it has been proven that the forested landscape can be permanently altered by the introduction and spread of a disease or, in the present case, insects such as the emerald ash borer or the Asian longhorned beetle.

As its name implies, the Asian longhorned beetle comes to North American from across the Pacific Ocean, making the journey along with wooden packing materials such as crates and pallets. As such, the first infestations have been discovered in major transit sites such as New York City, Jersey City, N.J. and Chicago.

The longhorned beetle

Because the longhorned beetle spends much of its early life deep within hardwood trees, insecticides have so far proven ineffective in fighting infestations. Instead, the beetles have been successfully eradicated by removing all available host trees, which includes most hardwood trees and especially maples, and chipping or burning those trees. Then,

a quarantine area is observed around the site of the infestation, wherein authorities control the movement of wood products into and out of the area.

The most troubling infestation for local authorities was one discovered in Worcester, Mass. in 2008.

Unlike previous infestations, which were in urban areas and easier to contain, the Worcester infestation occurred in the vicinity of woods which run contiguously north, into and through northern New England. Once the infestation was discovered, an aggressive and expensive response was begun, one which so far seems to have successfully eliminated the threat. However, the incident revealed a threat to local trees. Since many summer visitors to New Hampshire come from Massachusetts, the beetles could have easily been transited with them, especially if the visitors brought firewood with them.

Effective this month, the state has banned the importation of untreated firewood to guard against this possibility.

Fast said that Asian longhorned beetles present a grave threat because they will impact and kill a wide variety of hardwood trees and have no biological predator to counter their spread. Fortunately, though, the beetles, which grow to about an inch in length, have black bodies with white spots and long antennae, are distinctive and easy to spot, as are the large exit holes that riddle infested trees. In the Worcester example, he said, the infestation was first noticed by a resident concerned about the health of a tree.

Emerald ash borer

Although also a beetle from Asia, which likely made the transoceanic journey in the same way the Asian longhorned beetle did, the emerald ash borer is distinct in several ways. Firstly, the insect seems to only impact ash trees. Also, while the longhorned beetle larvae tunnel into the wood of the tree, the ash borers only feed on the thin layer of tissue between the bark and the hardwood, the layer which transmits water and nutrients from the roots to the branches. This causes the trees to become weakened and susceptible to other stressors, resulting in the death of the host tree within a few years.

Another difference between the two insects is appearance. Emerald ash borers are small, about 10 millimeters in length and difficult for the layman to distinguish from common beetles of the same size.

Because they’re smaller, the exit holes marking their infestations are only a few millimeters across and unlikely to be spotted by a casual observer.

In 2002, a widespread infestation of emerald ash borers was identified in Michigan, resulting in widespread mortality of ash trees there. Since then, the insect has spread through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, Virginia, Wisconsin and Canadian provinces Ontario and Quebec.

Troubling to Fast, those responding to the infestations haven’t yet found a way to contain the emerald ash borers once a population has become established. He’s hoping that, because they don’t bore as deep into the trees as longhorned beetles do, that pesticides will be effective against them. Researchers are also attempting to find a biological counter that could be safely imported from Asia. Fast isn’t optimistic about those hopes, though, since it appears its spread is inevitable and its effects are devastating to ash trees.

With either insect, Fast said the best chances for a successful response will be a quick one which is applied before the infestation is widespread. To detect longhorn beetles, a survey program is under-

way for owners of pools, as the beetles are expected to be noticed in pool filters. Several “sentinel trees” have been planted across the state, including in Laconia. The sentinel trees are a variety of maple thought to be the preferred host for the beetles and, in theory, will be the first trees the beetles will infest.

To catch the first wave of emerald ash borers that enter the state, state officials have placed 200 traps throughout New Hampshire. Purple, triangular boxes hanging from trees, the boxes are placed at campgrounds and along road sides.

In Fast’s view, the best chance to spot the invasive insects before they’re widespread is through the sharp eyes of local residents. “Education is so critical with early detection,” he said. “It’s informed residents that are likely to discover this.”

Although there can be many causes underlying an ill tree, including many native pests, some of which could be confused for invasive insects, Fast encouraged property owners to keep an eye on their trees and be suspicious if they see signs of poor health, such as thin foliage or light bark. He can be reached at 5275475. The NH Division of Forests and Lands’s Forest Health Program can also help, 464-3016. Fast urged, “Be aware, try to be proactive, call with questions.”

FAA from page 3 Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., said he’s concerned that Washington officials and the public have been so focused on the national debt crisis, that the FAA shutdown — which is unrelated — isn’t receiving the attention it deserves.

“This is a very serious problem, but it is hard to rise above the din,” he told reporters. More than 600 furloughed FAA employees worked at the agency’s research and technical center in Egg Harbor, N.J. GOP senators confirmed their intention to continue to block legislation to restore FAA’s operating authority unless Democrats give ground on Republican proposals to cut air service subsidies to rural communities and to make it more difficult for airline workers to unionize.

Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., said he will use Senate procedures to hold up the legislation unless it also includes cuts to the Essential Air Service program, which was set up more than three decades ago to ensure airline service on less profitable routes to remote communities. Critics complain that in some cases the subsidies are too high — more than $1,000

within 90 miles of a hub airport, reducing their need for subsidies.

A Republican-sponsored bill passed by the House last week to extend FAA authority through Sept. 16 included a provision to cut $16.5 million in air service subsidies. FAA has a $16 billion budget this year.

Senate Democrats objected, saying Republicans were trying to use the subsidies provision to enact policy changes that haven’t been agreed to by negotiators and to prod Democrats to compromise on the labor provision.

The labor provision is contained in a long-term funding plan for the FAA passed by the House in April. The Senate passed a similar bill in February without the provision. Democrats have insisted Republicans drop the labor provision before they will negotiate on a handful of other contentious issues in the long-term funding plan, including the air service subsidies.

Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who blocked a Democratic effort Friday to extend FAA’s operating authority without cutting subsidies, told reporters he doesn’t expect to change his position “until they

‘Cabaret’ coming to Interlakes Summer Theatre beginning August 2

MEREDITH — The Kander and Ebb classic ``Cabaret’’ will hit the Interlakes Summer Theatre stage August 2 for a two-week run.

This musical, set in 1930’s Berlin during the rise of the Third Reich, tells the story of an American writer, Clifford Bradshaw, who travels to Berlin to write a novel. It is there that he meets and eventually falls in love with, Sally Bowles, a British cabaret singer at the Kit Kat Club.

This show is a mixture of powerful songs and entertaining dance numbers.

The role of Sally Bowles will be played by Dara Hartman, who says what stands out about the character is “Her air of not caring what people think, her attempts to shock and stimulate. Playing the role is going to be a lot of fun.”

Sue Boland makes her Interlakes Theatre debut as Fraulein Schneider, the owner of the boarding house where Clifford Bradshaw stays. “I’ve been lucky enough to see several fine actresses tackle the role in both the original and revised version, but I’ve always wanted to see more realism, more understanding of what was behind Schneider’s song ``So What!”.

The show will also feature Matthew Rickard as the Emcee, the role made famous by Joel Grey in the film and Broadway stage production. Rickard is well known in Meredith playing Richie Valens in The Buddy Holly Story..

Cabaret will be performed at Interlakes Summer Theatre at Inter-Lakes High School August 2-14.

Bristol, Center Harbor, Effingham, Franklin, Freedom, Gilford, Gilmanton, Hebron, Hill, Holderness, Laconia, Meredith, Moultonborough, New Hampton, Northfield, Ossipee, Sanbornton, Sandwich, Tamworth, and Tilton are eligible and encouraged to bring their hazardous waste products to the participating facility that is most convenient.

Accepted at the facilities are hazardous products including most household cleaners, fluorescent bulbs, pool chemicals, and lawn and garden products. Any household product that lists “Danger”, “Poison”, “Corrosive” or “Toxic” on the label needs to be disposed of at a collection event. Items that will not be accepted include: latex paints, propane tanks, tires, and alkaline batteries.

Check your local transfer station for proper disposal of these items.

The quantity of hazardous waste accepted from each household is limited to ten gallons or fifty pounds. Products should be kept in their original containers with all the lids tightly secured. If there is a leak in the container, place it in a larger container and add an absorbent substance such as cat litter or paint hardener (available at your local hardware store).

To ensure safe transport, products should be placed in a cardboard box in the trunk. This will also ensure a quick drop-off upon arrival.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are those who believe that crying is a form of weakness and is to be avoided at all costs. They are forgetting that there is a healing balm inside every tear. Tolerate the tears of others, and of course, accept your own.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Be on the lookout for new treasures.

There is an item very near you that would fit in perfectly with a collection or special interest of yours. Ask specific questions, and you’ll find your way to it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You didn’t sign up to be a role model, but that is what you have become.

So embrace your position, and show everyone the way. It is one of your many purposes on the planet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You feel wronged by someone. This person meant you no harm, but his or her selfishness has caused you extra work.

Consider that on some level you may have agreed to this inconvenience.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A ritual can help you release what is old and let in new light. This doesn’t have to be a practice laid out for you by religion or tradition. You are free to create your own steps for releasing the past.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 27). Your easygoing way will attract good fortune to your personal life in August. Just don’t brag, or loved ones will get jealous. You’ll negotiate and strike a pretty deal in September. The improvements to your routine have you looking fantastic in November. Expect family additions in January. Invest in May. Taurus and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 6, 36 and 39.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Do not try to parent other people’s children, even if you’re paid to oversee them.

Knowing the boundaries will save you from trouble. The principle will also apply today to adults who act like children.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will witness inspiring examples of sharing and caring. Indeed, you may be the instigator of these acts, as you will be moved to express the deep affection you feel for loved ones.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will praise good behavior in others. You’ll do this subtly, so as not to come across as overbearing. You are practiced in the art of leading from behind.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have poise, presence and a clear voice.

You will ask for what you want, and you will get it. You have no need of qualifiers, such as, “I hate to bother you, but...” You have the confidence of a leader.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Someone is not who he says he is. The situation is a little like Dorothy and her friends visiting the Wizard of Oz. The one in power has to posture and pretend because that is what he thinks the citizens expect.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your apprehensions will keep you from taking a risk that’s not worth taking.

However, when you see an opportunity that is right for you but scary because it’s new, you will courageously seize the moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You believe it’s rude to ramble on to a captive audience. And yet, you will listen patiently to the one who has trouble getting to the point. That’s how kind you are.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, July 27, the 208th day of 2011. There are 157 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 27, 1861, Union Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan took command of the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War. On this date: In 1789, President George Washington signed a measure establishing the Department of Foreign Affairs, forerunner of the Department of State.

In 1866, Cyrus W. Field finished laying out the first successful underwater telegraph cable between North America and Europe (a previous cable in 1858 burned out after only a few weeks’ use).

In 1909, during the first official test of the U.S. Army’s first airplane, Orville Wright flew himself and a passenger, Lt. Frank Lahm, above Fort Myer, Va., for one hour and 12 minutes.

In 1921, Canadian researcher Frederick Banting and his assistant, Charles Best, succeeded in isolating the hormone insulin at the University of Toronto.

In 1940, Bugs Bunny made his “official” debut in the Warner Bros. animated cartoon “A Wild Hare.”

In 1960, Vice President Richard M. Nixon was nominated for president on the first ballot at the Republican national convention in Chicago.

In 1974, the House Judiciary Committee voted 27-11 to adopt the first of three articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon, charging he had personally engaged in a course of conduct designed to obstruct justice in the Watergate case.

In 1981, 6-year-old Adam Walsh was abducted from a department store in Hollywood, Fla., and was later murdered. His father, John Walsh, became a well-known crime victims’ advocate.

One year ago: BP announced that its much-criticized chief executive, Tony Hayward, would be replaced by Robert Dudley as the company reported a record quarterly loss and set aside $32.2 billion to cover the costs of the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Canadian character actor Maury Chaykin died in Toronto on his 61st birthday.

Today’s Birthdays: TV producer Norman Lear is 89. Actor Jerry Van Dyke is 80. Actor John Pleshette is 69. Singer Bobbie Gentry is 67. Actress-director Betty Thomas is 63.

Page 20 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, July 27, 2011

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My granddaughter, “Tammi,” graduated high school at the end of May. She has been working at a pet store since last fall. This was her first real job, and she was both elated and proud.

When I visited over the Christmas holidays, she took me to the store to meet her boss and the other teen employees.

Tammi told me the boss had discussed the store’s finances with her, that he didn’t love his wife any longer, that he was getting a divorce, and on and on. I told her this is not something a 34-year-old employer would be sharing with an 18-year-old female employee unless he had an ulterior motive.

The day after her 19th birthday, Tammi left home and moved in with her boss, who is now divorced and shares custody of his 4-year-old child. She is absolutely enthralled with this guy, who is four years younger than her father. Our family is just sick over this. We’ve all tried talking to her, but she won’t listen. She said we should lighten up and that her friends are all OK with it. I know for a fact that her best friend doesn’t like this fellow and says he’s mean to Tammi.

My granddaughter says she’s an adult and can do whatever she wants. How can we make her realize that this is a huge mistake? -- Worried Sick in Illinois Dear Worried: Unfortunately, Tammi is right -- she is an adult and can make as many lousy decisions as she wants.

Often, kids are attracted to what seems most outrageous to their families. Perhaps if you stop fighting her, Tammi will have less to rebel against. Welcome this man into your family as best you can, and let Tammi see him in context. She may decide he’s not so outrageous after all. Or you might decide he’s not as terrible a choice as you originally feared.

Dear Annie: Our son divorced after almost 21 years of marriage. The marriage was never particularly happy. As

the mother of our two wonderful grandchildren, we want our former daughter-in-law to remain part of our lives.

Our son is engaged and is planning to marry next year.

We are not close to “Mary,” but if she makes our son happy, that’s good enough for us. When Mary asked us to remove our son’s wedding photo from the wall, we did so. The problem is, she now wants us to remove all photographs that include our former daughter-in-law, including ones with the grandchildren and other family members.

Annie, there are memories that go along with these photos. We replaced all the photographs that included our son with his ex-wife, but we left the others. My husband and I feel this is our home and we should be able to display what we choose. What is the proper thing to do? -- Confused InLaws Dear Confused: Some second wives are insecure about their position in the family and try to control their environment -- and yours. While you are under no obligation to remove any photos from your home, we also know that you don’t want to create a rift with your son and his new bride.

We suggest you take the contentious pictures and place them in your bedroom or in storage, or transfer them to a CD. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Married to Edward Scissorfeet,” who flails in his sleep and tears the sheets with his toenails.

I’m a Vietnam vet who, in recent years, had become more and more violent at night. After kicking my wife a couple of times, punching the walls and waking up on my knees swinging at ghosts standing by the bed, I saw a doctor who prescribed an anti-anxiety medication. I’m happy to report that I haven’t had any violent episodes since I started taking it. -- Sleeping Better in Florida
